Post by kurtk on dynamic modbus devices ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am CODESYS neophyte getting my wheels on. My goal is to re-platform an existing PLC application written in 61131 ST I've got the majority of the code/variables in a compilable form - excluding all the IO and comms nuances I am not sure whether this the right forum An important functionality which I implemented on the other platform was totally dynamic modbus devices... Most configurations I have come across impose static MB configs in which all configured devices MUST be present and functional... I have monkeyed around with MB enough to know that herding a half dozen MB cats into a working config can be tricky. I just do them one at a time and dynamically turn them on/off in whatever combination is convenient with ID, IP, baud, parity etc being runtime tweakable. I am totally curious whether this is possible with codesys, or whether its device configuration corrals one into a static cage which requires re-building the code to support flexible variations. Best regards

Post by davidbo on How to switch between dynamic IP address and dynamic? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I want to make an application with a UI for CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC SL which make it possible to switch between dynamin and fixed IP address and to set the IP address. However I do not know whether that is possible?

Post by wayne-riesterer on Assignment Efficiency - Repetitive Assignment vs IF statement ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks for your responses. I like to write the leanest possible code that I can because it makes it much easier to read/maintain/debug. OR_ELSE is what I was looking for. I wasn't sure if CodeSys short-circuited evaluation and I didn't realize this operator existed. Thanks!

Hello, I would like to know, if it is possible to use codesys for a visualization of parameters in a controller (not PLC) not programmed using Codesys. I intend to use codesys for the visualiztion, and do not know yet what I may require.

does this recipe example help you here? https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/home/Home/ https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/recipe-manageme/home/Home/ and additional keep in mind that all files which are generated / or read should be exist in the iecfilepath this means: for Windows (Control Win as example) c:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\268E8ADF\PlcLogic for Linux /var/opt/codesys/PlcLogic

Hi Eschwellinger, sorry for so late reply but I found a solution back then; uninstall completely Codesys V3x64 and re-installed Codesys V3x32 to properly note the password I created and everything went ok. thank you for your suggestion and have a good day/evening Mike

Post by bruno-roth on Parker Compax3 controlled by Schneider LMC 201 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, You could not run EtherCAT-Softmotion drives with LMC201 PLC. This Controller has an EtherCAT master but only to run simple I/O devices. You could not use this EtherCAT master on the LMC201 for Motion. Schneider PACdrive Controller use SERCOS and only own drives (LXM62 with Sercos) for motion.

Post by automa on SBOM ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, How do you create your SBOM in Codesys. I have been searching for this topic but couldn't find any useful information. I am referring to making an export list or all libraries used in the project. I have developed a python script that exports them, but I am open for ideas of beast practice

Post by poliautomacao on Absolute movement controlled by an external encoder. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Georg, the encoder's actual position was -208 because I moved it manually for testing, but I managed to get it working. Your information is correct; there was a parameter error, Kp was at 0. After I adjusted it, it responded as expected. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi TimvH, thanks for feedback. I also test the redundancy with Wago PFC 8212 but when I did it (firmware 28) it was not so much stable..Did you have some issue on master/slave switchover? are you using with EtherCAT remote I/O? I was looking for a most powerful hardware (PC based, x64) BR

Post by taqamert on Codesys 2.3 & Peak PCAN ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I will use Codesys to program a PLC. I will connect the PLC to the computer via the CAN interface using PEAK CAN, but Codesys does not recognize the CAN adapter. I have added the following libraries. What should I do? What steps should I follow?

I use SoftMotion Light libraries in my CodeSys 3.5 project. Activated the license. But probably not all the actions were completed. In the configuration of the axes A message that the driver is running in demo mode. Please tell me what complete actions need to be performed. Thanks

How is that possible to put a Function Block Method in the Task Configurator, as they did in the CNC3DEditor.project example? In that exmaple, I removed the gCNCMachine.SlowTaskCall method from the Task Configuration and I can't put it back. https://us.store.codesys.com/cnc-3d-editor.html Thanks!

Post by abrarsk on Download libraries of old versions ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You can download the missing libraries by clicking on the "Download Missing Libraries" button. However, if you were unaware of this and accidentally downloaded the latest version of the library from the Library Repository, you may need to uninstall it first to avoid conflicts.

If you update all to the newest versions in the project environment and update all devices in the device tree, the errors should gone! Missing the device updates is often causing this problems!

Post by timvh on Having trouble using the Web Client SL library ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
it should be something like: fbWebClient : WEB_CLIENT.WebClient; You need to use the "Namespace" of the library, not the name of the library itself.

Hello @eschwellinger, My project stopped working again. it would appear that this solution didn't resolve the problem perminantely. I deleted my alarm manager and the problem is no longer. When I put back in the Alarm Manager and my alarms the issue returns.
